Modern Laundry Room
Consider bench pinning as a more affordable option to digging a basement. The laundry area of this renovated basement was created to be bright and clean with a great deal of storage. Simple cabinets and drawers keep everything from linens to sports gear organized and out of sight. A farmhouse sink and industrial style sink and artwork lined across the countertop create the decoration more worthy of a main-floor space than a cellar for chores. Accessories like matching canisters and a dim tray finish off the look.
Hidden Guest Bed
Incorporate a guest bed into your existing design instead of putting up new walls for a separate bedroom. This Murphy bed uses a suspension system which makes it possible to lift with one finger. On each side of the queen-size bed, a market in the wall functions as a side table and can be wired using a reading light. When the bed is folded up, homeowners Barbara and Michael Purdy utilize the freed-up space as a work out area.
Dark TV Area-Accessorize with affordable vintage finds.
It appears counter-intuitive to paint your basement walls and ceiling in such a dark hue, but stylist Arren Williams maintained the space glowing with mood lighting. The undermount lighting at the high-gloss storage components highlights our collections, states Williams. This contemporary design has a masculine sense without yelling out bachelor pad.
Repurpose old furniture instead of buying new.
Designer and homeowner Barbara Purdy converted a wood-burning fireplace to gasoline to make a cosy focus in this room. I couldn't see myself hauling logs down the staircase, she states. Radiant heating installed under the wood-look porcelain-tile floor adds much more heat. The couch, a hand-me-down from her parents, was recovered and layered with pillows.
